Prospectus Summary
AGNC Investment Corp. is offering 12,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of its 8.75% Series H Fixed-Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per depositary share and par value of $0.01 per underlying preferred share. The fixed annual dividend of $2.1875 per depositary share ($0.546875 quarterly) is cumulative — meaning any missed payments accumulate and must be paid in full before AGNC can pay dividends on its common stock, providing investors a degree of income protection over non-cumulative structures. The stock is perpetual with no stated maturity and is generally not callable before October 15, 2030, at which point AGNC may redeem at $25.00 per depositary share. The Series H Preferred Stock sits above AGNC's common stock in the capital stack but is effectively junior to approximately $91.7 billion of indebtedness and other liabilities outstanding as of June 30, 2025 — primarily repurchase agreement borrowings — which must be satisfied before preferred holders receive anything in a liquidation. Because AGNC Investment Corp. is a holding company whose assets are largely held through subsidiaries, preferred holders also face structural subordination to all subsidiary-level obligations. The Series H ranks on parity with the existing Series C, D, E, F, and G preferred shares (aggregate liquidation value of approximately $1.69 billion). There is no traditional regulatory capital trigger; instead, AGNC retains a special early redemption right to call the preferred before October 15, 2030 solely to preserve its REIT tax qualification, which could result in early redemption at $25.00 at AGNC's discretion if its REIT status is threatened. At the $25.00 offering price, the Series H yields 8.75% annually. Because AGNC is a REIT, dividends are generally characterized as ordinary income (not qualified dividend income eligible for the 15%/20% preferential rate) and do not qualify for the corporate dividends-received deduction, making the after-tax yield less favorable than comparably-rated bank preferred dividends for individual and corporate holders. Dividends are payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15, with the first dividend of approximately $0.75955 per depositary share payable January 15, 2026 (record date January 1, 2026). If AGNC fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods, preferred holders gain limited board voting rights, and certain debt covenants could independently restrict dividend payments — investors should monitor AGNC's leverage and REIT distribution compliance as key indicators of dividend continuity.
